Study from Citrix and Centre for Economics and Business Research finds increased use of flexible working allowances could save UK workers £7.1 billion in reduced commuting costs and over half a billion hours spent travelling

Jim Motavalli with Automotive IT News published an article on self-driving cars and the mass amounts of data produced, titled, “Avoiding Data Overload with Self-Driving Cars.” The article included insight from Chris Fleck, vice president of emerging solutions at Citrix, on how much data cars produce and how Octoblu relates to self-driving cars. Chris shares an example of how his own Tesla Model S uses Octoblu technology. Thanks to IoT, his car is capable of sending a text saying “charge me up!” when its battery is below 50 percent charge. Fleck believes that data solutions for tomorrow’s self-driving cars will involve being selective, for example, temperature sensors don’t have to retain data if the weather holds steady.

In this article, Joe McKendrick of ZDNet looks at the importance of user experience (UX) when it comes to developing a successful application. He acknowledges that valuable applications that ultimately become a core part of any business are about "more than the interface.” To that extent, McKendrick links to and references a recent article authored by Saul Gurdus, VP of Insights & Enablement at Citrix, to back up this claim.

Reporter Michelle Goodman quotes Citrix VP of Business Technology Michael McKiernan discussing lessons learned through the Citrix BYOD program, specifically how to securely support personal devices. Michelle reports that Citrix began allowing workers to use their own devices five years ago and quotes Michael saying, “It’s not zero risk, but it’s a manageable risk. We have fewer security issues with the employee-owned devices than we do with corporate devices."

Mobile devices and apps are how work gets done these days. Employees aren’t tied to their desks, work doesn’t always mean sitting down from 9-5 and meetings can take place anywhere from a coffee shop to the sidelines of a soccer game.

Security is no longer an IT issue, it is a business problem. The challenge is that all businesses have to deal with it differently and there’s no silver bullet to solving security issues. Geir Ramleth, chief strategy officer and SVP and GM of Workspace Services at Citrix, explores what a modern security plan should look like and where to start.

With the explosion of native mobile apps, cloud-based web applications and BYOD, we need a new model for the modern business workspace. Citrix VP and GM Jesse Lipson explains how Citrix Workspace Cloud will help businesses deliver on-demand IT to the people in their organizations.
